OpenAI, which recently announced a $40 billion round of financing, is seeking funding from new and existing investors to fulfill the deal.

OpenAI’s company structure has also been a point of contention, and has rankled Elon Musk, who helped launch the research lab with a mission to safeguard humanity against artificial general intelligence, or AGI. After Musk left the company’s board in early 2018,OpenAI created a for-profit arm, in part to make it easier to fundraise.
